AIRBORNE CALIBRATION
NOTE
Airborne calibration should be checked
f or proper accuracy on every f l i ght .
Airborne calibration is performed only if
prepoint target is not visible in narrow
field of view.
Surveyed locations are much better than
ones whose coordinates are read from a
map.

fly-to waypoint in the FLIGHT PLAN.
2. Ensur e t he navi gat i on syst em i s

by veri f yi ng t hat t he t arget i s wi t hi n

NOTE
Failure of airborne cal are usually very
obvious. When step 15 is completed and
the target is not even close, sequence
through the flight plan back to correct
target and repeat airborne cal beginning
at step 3.
If step 15 reveals the target is close but
not within narrow FOV or if an azimuth
error exists but elevation is good, an
EGI heading error could be the cause. In
this event, repeat the entire airborne cal
beginning at step 1.
